Looks like this summer will be our best market in years. No major sales and some fantastic players coming in.
What?

Last mercato easily beats it if we end up signing these names.

Pjanic, Alves, Benatia, Pipita are way better than our current target. Plus there's also Pjaca who was unlucky.

We're linked to Matteo Anzolin.

Marca saying Ceballos is close to a deal for Real after rejecting Farca...don't know how reliable is Marca for Real. Too bad, his price is quite low...

We sold Pogba though.

Schick, Costa and Bern is awesome.

Like we should have.

Not really that awesome when you realize they all cost around 110-120mln while neither of three is an impressive signing. Not even close to Pjanic, Alves, Higuain level.

We're just overpaying for 3 good players. Or 2, and one big potential.

Hard to compare players in different positions. Costa can be as good for us as Alves if he replicates his form for Bayern in the first season, if Bern lives upto his potential he can become a fantastic player too.

That's the thing.

When we signed Pjanic, Higuain and Alves there were no ifs to begin with.

You're placing your hope on a regain of old form plus a development which might not happen.

It's all about improving our squad. Costa, Bern and Schick all do that. We had Stuaro and Lemina for attacking positions last year, instead now we'll have some talent in the first 11 and off the bench.

    So from what i read (had little time)

    Bernadeschi
    Douglas Costa
    Cancelo
    Sandro staying

    Pleased @Osman ? I dont know the fullback, but apparently he's rather good. But its Costa+ Berna while keeping Sandro


    No cm news lately tho

    @Mark @Xperd

    Where is the cm news ?
    CM can still be MAtuidi or N'Zonzi but like always Beppe can surprise us. SMS would be awesome but doubt it will happen this year.
    As for fullbacks it probably be a mix of Italians and Portuguese. :D

    Madrid is so stacked in midfield now with young players who have to play. Llorente and Ceballos now.

    Beppe needs to work on getting Kovacic.

    If Juventus signs Douglas Costa, Juve will replace Alves with an Italian right back. (Mediaset's Raimondi)
    Let it be Darmian if that's the case

    Marca is the best source for Real news

    Which means it's probably as good as done

    D.Costa Bernardeschi and it seems to be Cancelo
    Keita seems to go to Chelsea which is annoying since I rate Keita more than noth D.Costa and Bernardeschi

    Mostly this. We had an amazing and team only lost Alves. We lacked competition and rotation

    Berna, Costa Schick are amazing additions. Theyll still need to get past Mario and cuads aswel,.
